Description
Jaanihanso is a family owned cider house and orchard on a historic farm dating back to the 18th century. Our family bought Jaanihanso in 2000. Our knowledge of the farm’s history originates from the papers that we found from the house, and from older villagers stopping at our gate to reminisce about the “old days”.
The renovation story of the estate has been in sync with our own growing pains. Some years with larger construction works, some years not that much, but there has been constant mutual bettering. In 2013, when the last bits of the house had been refurbished, the car had to move out from its brand-new pigsty-turned-garage to make room for cider. Famously, a garage is the best place to start a venture.

Lightly boozy aroma, little sharp, lovely apple aroma. Taste is interesting! Coriander, sour cherries, tart but light sweetness. Very enjoyable. Apple pie.

375ml wired cork bottle from Ciderwinkel. Opened with a pop. Orangey gold colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of cinnamon, juicy apple. Taste is fruity apple, juicy, tangy, spiced, aniseed, vanilla with herbal earthy tannin. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry herby tannic finish with lingering cinnamon. Quite drinkable

(Bottle, 0.75 l - 2015 vintage - BB 01.06.2028, from Sip Tallinn, 20190907) The cider poured golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had apples, vanilla and lightly sourness. Palate was medium bodied with rather high carbonation. Flavours were apples, sourness, vanilla and light tartness. Aftertaste was dry and lightly tart. A decent dry but too fizzy cider.
